MapLibre GL JS is an open-source TypeScript library for rendering interactive, GPU-accelerated vector tile maps in the browser using WebGL2. It originated as a fork of mapbox-gl-js v1.x after Mapbox's license change and is part of the broader MapLibre ecosystem.
Use cases
- embed an interactive map on a website
- render vector tile maps in the browser
- add markers, popups, and controls to a web map
- animate a camera fly-to between locations
- display GeoJSON data on a map
- build a custom basemap with a style spec
- replace mapbox-gl-js with an open-source alternative
When to choose
- you need a fully open-source (BSD-3-Clause) browser map library
- you want GPU-accelerated vector tile rendering with WebGL2
- you need rich camera animation, terrain, globe, and interaction handlers
- you want a large plugin ecosystem and active community
When to avoid
- you need native mobile maps (use MapLibre Native instead)
- you only need simple static raster maps with minimal dependencies
- your target browsers lack WebGL2 support
